Top tips for your first weeks

At RMIT, there’s so much to explore, see and do. We’ve put together our top tips for your first weeks: whether you need to change your enrolment, find a job, immerse yourself in student life or seek advice.

 

Must know info

Get on top of your student admin. Not sure about the program you're studying? Feel free to change by the census date.

Get support when you need it

Whether it’s admin support, or a support service you seek (for example, counselling, money advice or disability support), ask the friendly staff at RMIT Connect.

 

Ask RMIT Connect

Get to know Canvas
